The complete daily case
First call, arrangements, tasks, documents, unlimited e-signatures, card and ACH payments, preneed, and QuickBooks Online stay on one operating record.
FuneralHQ vs PlotBox
FuneralHQ is the focused operating system for independent and growing funeral homes. PlotBox offers a broader funeral, cemetery, and crematory suite. Start with the complete funeral case, then decide whether specialist mapping breadth improves your operation enough to justify the wider platform.
What the Platform plan includes
- Unlimited users, cases, and e‑signatures
- Case management, intake, and the whiteboard
- Documents, packets, and remote signing
- Payments, plans, and QuickBooks Online sync
$250 per location, per month. Your records export whenever you want them.
How they compare
FuneralHQ centers the independent funeral-home case: first call, arrangements, documents, unlimited e-signatures, payments, preneed, and QuickBooks Online on one record with published per-location pricing. PlotBox markets a wider platform that adds cemetery mapping, plot inventory, and crematory workflows. Run the complete at-need case through both before allowing specialist breadth to decide the purchase.

Why FuneralHQ should be the baseline for an independent firm
A broader suite can list more modules. FuneralHQ concentrates on the work an independent funeral home completes every day, keeps the economics clear, and gives operators direct access to the people building the product.
Published, predictable pricing
$250 per location, per month, with unlimited users, cases, and e-signatures on the Platform plan. The same model applies at every location.
A direct path for missing workflows
Bring the exact requirement to the demo. The team building FuneralHQ will separate what ships today from configuration, integration, or development and give you a concrete answer on fit and timing.
Start with FuneralHQ; test specialist requirements separately
Why FuneralHQ is the baseline
Independent and growing funeral homes get the complete daily case, documents, payments, preneed, and QuickBooks Online in one focused system with published pricing.
When PlotBox deserves a specialist test
If digital cemetery mapping, plot inventory, or a combined facility platform is mandatory on day one, test those workflows closely without assuming the broader suite makes the funeral case faster.
The decision standard
Run first call through signed documents, payment, accounting, and export first. Then add property and crematory scenarios. Choose the wider platform only when the specialist workflow is decisive and the daily funeral case remains equally strong.
Common questions
Does PlotBox support funeral homes?
Yes. PlotBox now presents dedicated funeral-home workflows alongside its cemetery and crematory products. Confirm the current modules and run your own case through a live demo.
Does FuneralHQ do cemetery mapping?
FuneralHQ does not market cemetery mapping as live today. Bring the exact requirement to the demo: the product team will show the live funeral workflow and give you a direct answer about configuration, integration, or development timing. If day-one mapping is mandatory, test that specialist capability and the full funeral case before deciding.
Does FuneralHQ sync with QuickBooks?
Yes, with QuickBooks Online, so invoices, payments, and customer records flow without retyping. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported.
Can we migrate our data?
Yes. We help with migration in the first week, and you can export your data at any time.
